Pulp electrified Glastonbury’s iconic Pyramid Stage with a not-so-secret performance.
The lineup for Glastonbury included several enigmas, with the mysterious act ‘Patchwork’ prompting various theories, including a playful intervention from Chappell Roan to further confuse things.
Ultimately, the audience at the massive Pyramid Stage wasn’t shocked to discover that Patchwork was indeed the legendary Sheffield band Pulp. Frontman Jarvis Cocker teased the crowd, asking, “How did you guess…?”
With their new album ‘More’ recently topping the charts, Pulp took the stage with confidence and precision. Their performance commenced with ‘Sorted For Es and Wizz,’ and the tracks from this year's release were perfectly suited for a festival atmosphere. A spirited rendition of ‘Spike Island’ allowed Jarvis to reminisce about Pulp stepping in for The Stone Roses as the headliners at the festival in 1995.
Cocker shared plenty of kind words about the festival, having even DJ’d for Greenpeace earlier that week, and the vibrant energy built towards an exhilarating finale.
A fierce ‘Do You Remember The First Time?’ dripped with intensity, while a soaring performance of ‘Babies’ elevated the excitement further.
The band concluded the set with their powerful anthem ‘Common People,’ a song whose raw fury only seems to intensify over time. It was an unforgettable moment when the Red Arrows flew overhead as the audience sang along to the chorus.
This performance highlighted Glastonbury’s unique capacity to create unforgettable experiences, showcasing Pulp's enduring energy.
